Avril Lavigne - glam gal & rep of Canada's musical talent?

It's old news now, but we all know that Avril has "grown up" & along w/ that comes a more mature look. Gotta admit, I think she looks pretty damn good. The haute couture works well w/ her features & I prefer it over her thick, thick eyeliner look. Now if we can only do something about her fiancé, Deryck's look.

For those Olympic die-hard fans, as myself (I am sadly quite addicted to the Winter Olympics events every four years & I'm expecting my life to be revolving around the Torino Games, you know that the closing ceremonies typically is the symbolic passing of the torch to the next Winter Games host city. The end of ceremony will have performers from that city representing its culture, etc.

As 2010 is the next games, there will be a large Cdn contingent. & what Olympic closing ceremony doesn't feature a musical artists? Well, VANOC just distributed a release announcing that Avril Lavigne will be the artist that will be representing Canada at the closing ceremonies... I'll be the first to admit that I've got her first album & I like Sk8er Boi and all of her other head bopping tunes, but to represent the musical talent that our country possesses!?! & a better Q that my hermano posed - why not an artist FROM Vancouver? Of course, that means they would use either Sarah McLachlan or MichelMichael Bublé - but still more talented than Avril.
